I painted this on a rural road I like to return to often. It's a lovely area with ranch homes separated by acres and acres. The hills are rolling and when you get up high you can see for miles. The distance and fall color are what attracted me to this scene.

"Painting On the Rim" By Sheri Jones10 x 8 Oil on canvas

Available $75.00

We traveled to Palo Duro Canyon last weekend and rented a room on the rim. It didn't take me ten minutes after arriving before I had the paint box out and I was painting. The sun was setting quickly and the paint was flying. How exciting!

You must rise early to be on site and set up to catch the color of the fast moving sun.I may grumble, but know it is worth it in the end. This was painted off a rural road close to home in Granbury, Texas.See more atSheriartblogspot.comSheriart.netsheri@sheriart.net

Painted early morning out on the Brazos River. I didn't come prepared for the cool breeze and at times I was running in place to keep warm.Running and painting, thats a first. This was painted with my handy pallet knife.

I painted this at the paint out in Granbury on kick off day. I have always admired this beautiful Church and was excited to get this opportunity to paint it. It was a cool, windy, cloudy day and turned sunny just as I was packing up.

I painted this from the steps of City Hall in Granbury during the Harvest Moon Festival Paint out.It was a cool, clear early morning. The sun was spotlighting this building and the lilac flowers out front caught my eye.

Trumpet vine

10 x10 oil on canvas

This was completed at a three day workshop with Qiang Huang. I learned a lot about dramatic lighting and setting up a still life. Look for new work with influences from him. He is part of the Daily painter movement, posting a painting a day. He works a full time job and manages to paint at night. Amazing.

I painted this while participating in Last Friday Gallery Night in Granbury. I was painting at Stringfellow's Restaurant by the window. A storm blue in and the clouds got darker and darker. Between that and the romantic light in the restaurant it was a challenge. To top it off the electricity went out. It was time to go but I still managed to paint a bright happy picture.

About Me

I have studied painting and glass work for over 25 years, constantly learning from diverse
artists and workshops. I consider myself a colorist and feel it speaks volumes in whatever
medium or subject I choose to use. My goal is to push boundaries, growing through
experimentation, variety and brush mileage.
My recent inspirations come from plein air work. Painting outdoors or working from life has
proven to be an exhilarating and challenging experience. I am inspired to record my
observations and experiences on canvas. I hope as you view my work, you will sense the
pleasure I receive from the painting process and my gratitude to God for the artistic ability
He has given me.
